The record
Cut for RCA with Bill Evans and Art Farmer navigating charts built more like modernist scores than standards, this session sketches out the Lydian chromatic ideas Russell had been developing for years. Angular and exacting, it's early proof of a theorist reshaping how modal jazz could think.
